Come on! Seriously? You can not compare murdering children to picking the pockets of the entertainment industry.
Theft is not murder by any degree.
While I neither condone nor condemn someone before they have had their day in court, I would not expect a death penalty or life in prison term for this alleged crime.
Hysterics are for the uninformed.

The entertainment industry is possibly the 2nd most profitable entity on the planet (after oil/energy).

Sheer persecution, shame on them.

Imagine a school gets taken hostage by some gangsters and they shoot your son before being rounded up by Police. Would you say "What actual harm was done? the other hundreds of kids are fine!"

think a better scenario would be a bunch of gangsters run in the school photocopy a bunch of text books and leave then send copies of them text books to other people.
the original textbooks are still there,The school can charge new students large fees to buy the textbooks they need,no one is harmed and the school is still profitable.

Realistically the entertainment industry should have to file a civil lawsuit and prove beyond reasonable doubt they actually lost money due to this guy.
A dead kid is easy to prove you have a body,unless the student wasn't enrolled at the school and no one had any photographic evidence or any record of the students existance.
like the entertainment industry can not lose money they didn't have.
